A sit-in to defend press freedom. The event, organized by the Left ecology and freedom, is Friday, May 28 from 10 to 12 in Piazza del Monte (corner via Corridoni). A rally denouncing the danger of the bill on wiretaps for the free and complete information. Sel thus responds to the call of the National Federation of the Italian press. Citizens can not be gagged and private information: a view democratic governments must be able to control those who govern. Despite strong protests were raised throughout the country, the Berlusconi government wants to go forward. This is a very serious decision and dangerous for democracy. Left for this freedom and ecology at the national level, has organized several times in protest. The bill penalizes and undermines the freedom of the press, preventing newspapers and news (including new media) to give news of investigations and prosecutions - including those involving serious crime - until a preliminary hearing, that is for a period in Italy from 3 to 6 years and, in some cases, up to 10. The proposed rules would violate the fundamental right of citizens to learn and know, that is to be informed. The discipline to the Senate vulnerable the basic principles upon which freedom of information is guaranteed and justice is administered in the name of the people. Journalists perform a function, a duty can not be compressed by acts of censorship. Get off the streets against the gag law.
